The sound was wide band, with bass extension into the 30 hz region, dynamic expression both micro and macro was outstanding.  Imaging and soundstaging filled the room and some cases extended beyond the back and side walls.  Depending on the recording , you were listening to the performers in the room, or being transported to the live music venue.  

This is not just the teams impressions , but the feedback given by show attendees .

There are some good independent Youtube reviews on the show.  Check out  :
